Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 478 Cao Pi Awakens

South County
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Chen Dao finally breathed a sigh of relief when the Jin army withdrew, and even Huo Jun thought they had escaped.If Nanjun is conquered and Chu falls, Huo Jun guarantees that he will be the first to die!
The state of Jin will never let a traitor go.

Zhang Fei laughed loudly on the tower, and said: "Hahaha, this Jin army is nothing to worry about, isn't it also beaten away by us now? They retreated to Xiangfan, and they lost nearly 15 troops this time, so they beat them down." Xiangfan and Dangyang, the losses are terrible!"

Zhang Fei looked very excited. After all, Jin's retreat was also a great joy, so he was naturally very excited.

Guan Yu snorted softly and said, "Third brother, don't be careless, the enemy is still gone. Cao Pi is a wolf, we have to beware of Cao Pi."

After hearing what the second brother said, Zhang Fei suddenly felt like a stick in his throat. This feeling was hard to say.

Cao Pi has an elite army of [-], as well as Wuxi Man and Nan Man soldiers. These two forces are good at fighting in the mountains in southern Jingzhou and even Jiaozhou.

"The general is right. If Cao Pi broke up with us this time and insisted on seizing Jingzhou in the south for his crown prince, I am afraid that the king will have to retreat to Jiaozhou. But the king is Cao Pi's father-in-law after all. The Crown Prince of Qin will definitely not cross Jiaozhou half a step. And the general thinks that even if Cao Pi really wants to attack Nanjun by force, we can pretend." Chen Dao narrowed his eyes, but he thought Cao Pi was not scary.

Guan Yu was puzzled, but he respected Chen Dao very much. This is his brother who followed his eldest brother from Xuzhou to Jingzhou.

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and asked, "Oh? Uncle Zhi, make it clear."

Guan Yu didn't talk much, but he revealed that he wanted to listen to advice.

It is rare for Guan Yu to show respect for other people's strategies. Chen Dao was also slightly pleased, and said: "Cao Pi led troops out of Chengdu, and he is also in a dilemma. The reason for sending troops is to understand the crisis of our Chu State, but it is also for his crown prince." .If the Jin State directly withdraws its troops now, and Cao Pi retreats without military exploits, it will not only affect the trust of Shamoke and Meng Huo, but also make the ministers of the Qin State feel dissatisfied. It is not good for the reputation to mobilize the army and get nothing in the end. Therefore, Cao Pi will definitely find a way to attack Jingzhou and divide Jingzhou into the land of Qin. But as the prince, he will never let his power stabilize in Jingzhou. Cao Pi needs more troops to stabilize Chengdu. Prime Minister Zhuge sent someone to deliver a letter, If Cao Pi brings troops to Nanjun, first defend the city for three days. Within three days, if Cao Pi is merely a feigned attack, then the general must withdraw his troops as soon as possible and let Jingzhou go."

Guan Yu snorted coldly, and he knew that Chen Dao definitely did not have such foresight, and Zhuge Liang came up with this plan after all.

"Father, my son thinks it is feasible! Cao Pi will gain prestige if he wins Jingzhou, and Cao Cao will have nothing to do. At that time, Jingzhou will need a Qin general to guard it. My son thinks that Cao Cao will send his son Cao Zhang or Cao Zhi. Compared with Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi, father and Uncle, he is just a child of Huangkou. Isn’t the Jingzhou land and Nanjun that were given away can be taken back by my father within a few days?” Guan Ping agreed with Chen Dao’s words, after all, what Chu State needs now is to preserve strength.

"Trouble! Guan Ping, go send a letter to Cao Pi and tell him to attack the city quickly! Tell him that if Cao Zhi is allowed to guard Jingzhou, I will give him the southern county." Although Guan Yu did not admit that he adopted Zhuge Liang's strategy, but the actual action is indeed the case.

Guan Ping smiled. He knew that his father had a good face, so he immediately took orders.

Chen Dao hurriedly nodded his head in salute. This time, the crisis in Chu State was resolved, and based on the land of Jiaozhou, it could develop rapidly.It's a pity that the biggest loss of Chu State is Xu Shu, who was captured!

In this way, Zhuge Liang needs to manage both at home and abroad, and I am afraid that he will have to work day and night.

That afternoon
In Cao Pi's barracks, Guan Ping was full of momentum in the large tent of Cao Jun's army, without any fear.Even if Cao Zhen threatened with swords and axes, it was not enough to make Guan Ping fearful.

After Cao Pi finished reading the letter from Nanjun, he suddenly smiled and said, "Zidan, Wen Lie, this is Guan Ping, the eldest son of Guan Yu, the great general of the Chu State. General Guan is my father-in-law's sworn brother, so Guan Ping naturally It’s also my brother. You entertain our brothers with good wine and meat for me, I want a letter to trouble Brother Guan to send it back to Nanjun.”

Cao Pi blinked at Cao Zhen a few times, and Cao Zhen understood.

After all, he is a friend who has played with Cao Pi since childhood, and he can understand Cao Pi's meaning with just a few glances.

"Hahaha! So it's Brother Guan Ping, disrespectful and disrespectful! Wen Lie, we are too rude, and we will punish ourselves with a pot of wine later to express our apologies!" Cao Zhen, who was still vigilant, immediately smiled and threw the sword down Afterwards, he hooked up with Guan Ping to win the relationship.

Even such intimacy, it seems that Guan Ping is also a general of Cao Jun.

Cao Xiu narrowed his eyes. Although he didn't know what His Highness the Crown Prince saw in the letter, he also understood that the things in the letter were beneficial to His Highness.

After Guan Ping was taken out, Sima Yi came in and looked at Guan Ping at the same time.

"Zhongda, you came at a good time. This is a letter from Guan Yu, the great general of the Chu State. Guess what is written on it." Cao Pi also treated Sima Yi as half a friend. This time he was very happy and came to test Test him.

Sima Yi was puzzled for a moment, knelt down and kowtowed first, taking this time to think.

"Well... I thought that since Guan Ping came, this must be an important matter. Could it be that... Guan Yu is willing to give up Nanjun and Jingzhou and retreat to Jiaozhou? If that's the case, I'm afraid it's not that simple." Sima Yi saw more With a wide range of knowledge, I have now begun to realize many conspiracy strategies.

Cao Pi still kept silent, he just picked up the wine cup and started drinking, waiting for Sima Yi to continue talking.

Sima Yi sighed, knowing that what he was about to say next was too explicit, so he glanced sideways at the surrounding soldiers.

"You all retreat!" Cao Pi knew that if the soldiers did not retreat, Sima Yi would never say anything.

Sima Yi nodded, kowtowed again, and said: "Your Highness, I think this is Zhuge Liang's plan, and it can be regarded as a favor for His Highness. Zhuge Liang gave up Nanjun and half of Jingzhou to His Highness, just to let His Highness go back with his outstanding military achievements. Then , Nanjun and Jingzhou can’t be taken for nothing, and His Highness must know it too. And the deal His Highness gave Zhuge Liang is to take control of our general Qin sent to guard Jingzhou!"

Cao Pi snorted softly, but couldn't hide the smile on the corner of his mouth, because Sima Yi said what he wanted to hear the most.

"Sima Yi, you are quite courageous!" Cao Pi couldn't help laughing.

"If you are timid, you can't become your highness's subject. Although your minister is not small, he is not too big. It's just that your highness needs to be bold and think about things that even the king dare not think of! Only if your highness asks the king to recognize you, you will be able to do so." Enough to secure the crown prince!" Sima Yi showed fierce eyes, but he kowtowed to the ground so no one could see him.

Cao Pi sighed, and said: "Letting Zijian and Ziwen to guard Jingzhou is indeed within my control. As long as I suggest to the father, all the officials will definitely agree. But with the abilities of Zijian and Ziwen, it is impossible to do it within three days. Jingzhou can be lost within a month, and perhaps even his life. When all the officials see Zijian's incompetence, more people will naturally support me. It's ruthless, this strategy is ruthless!"

"No! In fact, even His Highness does not have enough ability to guard Jingzhou. With Zhuge Liang's intelligence and the bravery of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, His Highness's military strength is not enough to defend Jingzhou. It is only a matter of time before Jingzhou falls. Chessboard, wouldn't it be beautiful to completely overthrow Mr. Zijian?" Sima Yi's words were gradually becoming explicit, and he also thought that it was time for Qin to unify internally.

Cao Pi snorted coldly, he knew what Sima Yi was thinking, this guy hid it very deeply.

"Okay! If that's the case, who do you think I should send to attack Nanjun? Or who should I give this great credit to?" Cao Pi really wanted Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu to get the credit, but after thinking about it, he couldn't. Let others watch.

Sima Yi sighed, and said, "Ma Chao at the north gate, Pang De at the south gate, Shamoke at the east gate, and Menghuo at the west gate. Your Highness can send troops tomorrow and enter the city tomorrow night. Once the soldiers have plundered enough in one night, they will Begin to rectify military discipline. In this way, Sha Moke and Meng Huo have both benefited, and they must be satisfied. Ma Chao and Pound did not go in vain, and they have made great achievements in capturing Nanjun, which can be regarded as winning favors from His Highness."

It can be heard that Sima Yi is very dissatisfied with this method, and in fact Cao Pi is also somewhat dissatisfied with it.Let the Wuxi Man and Nan Man soldiers attack the city, I am afraid that after the city is broken, there will be restlessness and the people will not be at peace.

"Hey! If that's the case, go and send a letter to Guan Yu, asking him to transfer the people of Nanjun as soon as possible, and I will send troops to Nanjun in three days." Cao Pi didn't want innocent people to be killed by barbarians, so he had to do this.

Jin State Xudu
In the Xuanzheng Hall of the Jin Palace, all the generals who marched south received their rewards and punishments in the hall.

In the battle of Xiangfan, too many troops were lost, and the common people would not be convinced without punishment.

However, compared to punishment, there are naturally more rewards, so no one will complain.

"Rewards and punishments are clearly defined. The father is a wise king through the ages! Father, the eldest daughter of the child, Han Yue, can talk about marriage in two years, and I want to find a father's family for my daughter." Han Wu told the father in the Xuanzheng Palace. Ask for instructions.

When the officials heard that His Royal Highness was going to choose a son-in-law, everyone's eyes lit up, wondering whose son could be so lucky.

"Oh? Yue'er has reached the age for engagement before she knows it. Does Wu'er have someone she likes?" Han Fu and Han Wu had already discussed it in the harem, but now it's just a show.

"My minister's daughter is still young, so she often goes to General Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong's house to make troubles on weekdays, and she has a good relationship with her son Zhao Tong. The minister chooses General Zhao Yun's daughter Zhao Tong as his son-in-law, and wants to get engaged at the end of the month. I don't know General Zhao. Can you agree?" Han Wu turned around, smiled at Zhao Yun, and asked kindly.

When the officials heard that His Royal Highness actually chose Zhao Yun's eldest son, almost all of them were envious and jealous, and whispered that Zhao Yun's fate was too good.
